This past weekend I had the opportunity to present at the New Jersey Code Camp in Iselin NJ. I gave two talks; Troubleshooting Performance in SQL Server 2000 and Scraping Websites with the .NET framework. The talks went pretty well and had a lot of lively discussion. My son Ben made the trip with me and helped me by running the powerpoint show. On the way back we stopped at the New England Air Museum in CT. That is a really cool place if you are an aero euthusiast.

It was great to meet some of the developers from that area, including Scott Watermasysk, Don XML, Miguel Castro, Frank La Vigne, Kevin Goff, Hilary Cotter and Jim Bonnie. The NJ area has a very active community.

Carl and Richard stopped by on their tour and showed a little VB 2005 and a little mobility. Very interesting stuff. I got to go on the bus after the meeting and was even interviewed on DotNetRocks! (The small guy way in the back with the blue shirt...That's me!). All in all, a great weekend and a good time.
